The purpose of this bill is to update the process for the adoption of textbooks and other instructional material and technologies to enable county boards more flexibility in adopting vendor updated print and electronic instructional resources. The bill updates terms and the process for approval and adoption of instructional resources in public schools and replaces the terms "textbooks," "instructional materials" and "learning technologies" with "instructional resources." The bill also modifies affected code provisions accordingly, provides approval for adoption cycles and listing of instructional resources on the state multiple list. The bill requires a method for review and adding new and substantially revised resources to the multiple list. The bill provides for county waivers of adoption cycles and a method for counties to select new or different resource before end of a contract period. The bill provides a method for vendor update of resources and revises the bidding, selection and approval process. The bill permits the multiple list to be published in an electronic format. The bill requires contracts to be filed pursuant to the state board process and provides for review of electronic instructional resources. The bill provides for RESA level selection teams and ensures equity of access to electronic instructional resources for all students.
